1) Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?
I find this class is very simple when it comes to due dates. They are always due on the same day and same time for the most part. Keeping up with other classes and this class does get hard though. I bought a planner and wrote down all of the due dates for my classes so that I could stay on top of every class.
2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
I did assignment 6A identifying opportunities in economic and regulatory trends but I forgot to declare that I did it and lost both points for the assignment. I was very angry but only at myself. I have kept pushing through and if i stay on top of everything from here on out I can still get the A in this and that is what is keeping me going. I do think I have refined my tenaciousness because of this class
3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' ?
Always double check that you have declared your assignments! Always!
Get a planner so you do not get confused about due dates between different classes.
Start working on assignments as early as possible and even work ahead if you can.

Hi Myles,
ReplyDeleteI agree with keeping an organized planner with due dates for not only this class but all of your classes, because in the end it'll only help you. Your post was really good and enjoyable to read! I also agree with your tips, I always like to start early with these assignments if I can too.
Hello Myles,
ReplyDeleteOrganization is definitely key when it comes to being successful in this class. I think because the assignments are on the easier side its more about dedicating the time to make sure you complete them by their due date. Complacency in work is also a key challenge for me in this class. I feel that once you get used to how the class is formatted and what is required of you it becomes much easier to complete the required tasks.
Hey Myles, I enjoyed your post. I think you made some excellent points in your tips section as well. Working ahead can be extremely beneficial in this class and that's exactly what I do. While the assignments aren't that hard, they can be tedious which is why future students should start ahead.
